OBJECTIVE: To explore the risk factors affecting the recurrence of endometrial polyps (EPs) after hysteroscopic diagnosis and treatment of EPs following in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) failure by multivariate analysis. METH…

PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccination on in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included 2185 patients undergoing fresh IVF cycles from June 1st to Se…

CONTEXT: Accelerating evidence of endocrine-related morbidity has raised alarm about the ubiquitous use of phthalates in the human environment, but studies have not directly evaluated mortality in relation to these exposures. OBJECTIVES: T…

The abnormal expression of circular RNAs (circRNAs) is associated with the progression of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which commonly causes infertility in women. In this study, we identified the role of circ_0030018 in PCOS. Quantitat…

BACKGROUND: Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) is a malignant tumor that originates in the mesenchymal tissue and is common in the extremities and retroperitoneum. Primary UPS of the duodenal papilla is rare and a distinct clinical …

BACKGROUND: Although acute pancreatitis associated with hyperparathyroidism has occasionally been reported, acute pancreatitis with metabolic encephalopathy caused by hyperparathyroidism combined with paraneoplastic syndrome is an extremely…

The diagnosis of endometriosis is typically delayed by years for the unexclusive symptom and the traumatic diagnostic method. Several studies have demonstrated that gut microbiota and cervical mucus potentially can be used as auxiliary diag…

Rationale: Growth differentiation factor-8 (GDF-8), also known as myostatin, belongs to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) superfamily. GDF-8 is expressed in the ovary and regulates various ovarian functions. Ovarian hyperstimulati…

Natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES) is especially suitable for colorectal surgery. Until now, most of the reports published were about laparoscopic NOSES, the reports about robotic NOSES are extremely rare. This study aims t…

OBJECTIVE: Thoracic endometriosis syndrome (TES) is a rare disease in which a functioning endometrial tissue is observed in the pleura, lung, parenchyma, airways, and/or diaphragm. The optimal management of this disease remains a matter of …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the association between age at surgery and recurrence rate of endometrioma. Data sources PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched up to October 2019. METHODS: We determined the pooled relative risk (RR) a…

BACKGROUND: Poor ovarian response (POR), a manifestation of low ovarian reserve and ovarian aging, leads to a significant reduction in the pregnancy rate after in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer. Acupuncture has increasingly been used t…

Hydrogen exhibits therapeutic and preventive effects against various diseases. The present study investigated the potential protective effect and dose‑dependent manner of hydrogen inhalation on high fat and fructose diet (HFFD)‑induced nona…

AIM: To compare the expression of estrogen receptor α (ERα), Bcl-2 and NF-κB P65 in endometrial polyps from patients with and without endometriosis. METHODS: Immunohistochemistry was used to characterize the expression of ERα, Bcl-2 and NF…

Pancreatic cancer has a high mortality rate and its incidence has risen rapidly in recent years. Meanwhile, the diagnosis and treatment of this cancer remain challenging. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common type of pa…

To systemically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Kuntai Capsules combined with GnRH-a in the treatment of endome-triosis. The databases of CNKI, WanFang, VIP, PubMed, EMbase and Cochrane Library were searched from their establishment to …

Abstract Background: Thoracic endometriosis syndrome (TES) is a rare disease in which a functioning endometrial tissue is observed in the pleura, lung parenchyma, airways, or diaphragm. The optimal management of this disease remains a matte…

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most lethal cancers worldwide. Inhibitor of differentiation 1 (Id1) is the member mostly linked to tumorigenesis in Id family and a potential molecular target in cancer therapy. In the curren…

BACKGROUND: The serum tumor markers has been widely used in ovarian cancer diagnosis. BRCA1/2 germline mutations are the most common predisposing factors for ovarian cancer development. This study aimed to comprehensively investigate serum …

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the leading cause of cancer death in the world. Inhibitor of differentiation 1 (Id1) is overexpressed in NSCLC and involved in promoting its progression and metastasis. Identifying natural compounds tar…

Hormone therapy drugs, such as bicalutamide and enzalutamide, directed against prostate cancer focus on androgen receptor (AR) signaling and are initially effective, but the disease progresses to lethality as resistance to these drugs devel…

BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas, leading to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in severe cases. Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1), a Tie-2 receptor agonist, and microRNA-126 (miR-126) have been reported to b…

Type I epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is primarily resistant to platinum-based chemotherapies and needs novel therapeutics. Given the aberrant Wnt activation in type I EOC and the involvement of Dapper1 Antagonist of Catenin-1 (DACT1) in W…

This study aimed to investigate the effects of Estrogen receptor β (ERβ) on osteosarcoma cells, and explore the regulatory mechanisms involved in this process. Osteosarcoma U2-OS cells consisted four groups, and treated by E2, E2 + LY294002…

BACKGROUND: miR-500a-3p has been demonstrated to be involved in the development, progression and metastasis in several human cancers. Constitutive activation of JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway has been reported to play an important role in the …
